El Salvador President Nayib Bukele proposed carrying out a prisoner swap with Venezuela on Sunday. Bukele suggested he would exchange Venezuelan deportees from the United States that his government has kept imprisoned for what he called “political prisoners”.

I care less about Signal chats and more about the blacksite offshore concentration camps we're sending random people to without any semblance of a trial, so I'll be interested to see if the national media can rub their bellies and pat their heads at the same time this week. Historically they can't.

JUST IN: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared Yemen strike details in a second Signal chat that included his wife and brother, three sources told CNN. cnn.it/3EpM8fP

I said it over and over on air: whatever your politics, Hegseth was the most aggressively unqualified nominee for a job this important in my lifetime.

New in PN: Tom Suozzi on fighting MAGA in a district Trump won

“They do these things to try to get people all excited, meanwhile they’re trying to cut Social Security and Medicaid and give tax cuts to the rich. The big issue is, how are the things they're doing going to affect people's lives?”

Did you know? The word “trumpery” appeared in the 15th century with the meanings “deceit” or “fraud”. 100 years later, it was being applied to objects of little or no value. Then in the 1900’s, it came to mean “showy but worthless”. — Today, it is equated with “fascist shit”.

DOGE Is Trying to Gift Itself a $500 Million Building, Court Filings Show

Sending up gratitude for the judges AND, more importantly, the lawyers who are willing to fight for the rule of law.

How DOGE’s Cuts to the IRS Threaten to Cost More Than DOGE Will Ever Save The Trump administration claims gutting federal agencies will save money, but cutting the IRS means the government collects less taxes. “If you’re interested in the deficit and curbing it, why would…

“By firing us, you’re going to cut down on how much revenue the country brings in,” said an axed IRS specialist who’d been brought in to audit complex tax returns filed by large corporations and wealthy individuals. “This was not about saving money.”

Another of the many blatantly illegal actions this Administration is undertaking.

If Congressional Repubs were serious about upholding their oaths to "support and defend the Constitution" they'd be calling this out, launching inquiries, and refusing to confirm these criminals.

Statement via FAA: A PSA Airlines Bombardier CRJ700 regional jet collided in midair with a Sikorsky H-60 helicopter while on approach to Runway 33 at Reagan Washington National Airport around 9 p.m. local time. PSA was operating as Flight 5342 for American Airlines. It departed from Wichita, Kansas.

CNN carrying FAA statement just now that confirms the collision of a CRJ and a Black Hawk helicopter near DCA tonight.

[UPDATE] Ronald Reagan Washington National (DCA) is closed as of 2025-01-29 20:55 EST. The airport is expected to remain closed until 2025-01-30 23:00 EST.🛑✈️🛑 #AvGeek

If confirmed as a commercial airliner in the Potomac, this mid-air collision at DCA would be the worst U.S. air disaster since the Colgan Air Q400 crash near Buffalo in 2009.

Michael Fanone, the DC police officer who was assaulted on January 6, says on CNN he was "betrayed by my country" and "those who supported Donald Trump" after the attackers were pardoned.

Fanone suffered a heart attack and a concussion after being repeatedly tased by Trump supporters at the Capitol

BREAKING

As expected, President Trump just signed an executive order withdrawing the United States from the World Health Organization.

The United States provides around 16% of WHO’s annual budget…over $200 million.

I’m trying, and I hope other people will try, to hold onto the simple notion that a US president cannot simply declare a federal law that was passed last year and literally upheld this week to be a nullity—even if it’s a not-so-hot law. The Congress is the body that can amend or repeal federal laws.

Let’s be clear: the whole thing is a con. TikTok could’ve kept the app rolling on Sunday but by shutting down & mentioning Trump, he gets to be the savior. One of many examples of companies & billionaires bowing down.

It’s BS. But it’s also the reality. Let’s not give Trump anymore opportunities 👍🏾

My one wish for the inauguration is that there is a gift bag under the seats of Bezos, Zuck, Elon etc, with a single, embroidered , padded knee pad

Need to protect themselves when they are on bended knee, kissing the ring 🤷😆

The U.S. military said it mistakenly shot down one of its own fighter aircraft over the Red Sea early Sunday in "an apparent episode of friendly fire." Both pilots are safe.

Murky understanding of permitting. Graduate degree in bribery

Pretty funny to watch right-wing media and influencers try to pretend that Trump suddenly shipping Guilfoyle off to Greece with an Ambassadorship has NOTHING TO DO with Junior getting photographed out on the town with another woman this weekend.
